Hilda seems to guess what's going through the Porygon's mind, as she says "This isn't a key- well, maybe it is, but not in the usual sense. It's a datapad, protected by a very secure code- an Infinity Code. I can't crack it, and I don't think you can, either. If we get out of this, we need to find someone who can, or an access code-" She is interrupted by the sound of the door getting ripped off its hinges. Put your tokens in their places, and let me know on Discord when you're ready. It's time for a fight! Can you hold out for seven rounds?

The moment the door opens, Odont growls excitedly. This whole thing has been a mass of frustration and confusion for her and her friends, so she's just been itching to get something between her jaws.
Before Gordon even has a chance to say anything, she runs forward and gives a chomp to one of the Poochyena, the cold steel of her body giving the attack an icy chill.

The Poochyena yelps and almost collapses as blood spurts from the wound. The nearest grunt backpedals from the ferocity of the attack, shouting "Oh no! An alien!" His calmer friend replies "Alien? That ain't no alien, it's a Mawile." " Even worse!" The Poochyena, meanwhile, charge, unleashing Tackles on anything within range. The one being held by Odont can't break free of it's iron grip, but its friend breaks the Mawile's iron grip, sending it sliding across the floor. The third hits Hilda, sending her stumbling back, while the fourth gets a critical attack on the unsuspecting Machop. Odont takes 26 damage, before type resistance and Defense reduction. Machop was critted, taking 27 damage before Defense reduction. Hilda was damaged. It is now the angry medic's turn.

Odont giggles a little at the second Poochyena's attack and grins at it, as if to say, "Don't worry, I'll get to you in a minute."
Meanwhile, Gordon looks around at battlefield, tapping his foot rapidly as he tries to decide whether to remain in hiding or come out to help.
His decision is made for him when he sees Machop take a heavy blow. Cursing under his breath, he dashes out, sparing only a second's glance at Odont. "Well, glad someone's havin' fun."
Unfortunately, 002 is on the other side of the room, so Gordon's going to take a while getting there with his short legs. In the meantime, he calls up some energy from within him and projects it onto the Machop. "Go on, finhead," he says as he does it. "Show these mutts what ye can do."

As Gordon waddles about, the grunts open fire. Odont is hit, taking surprisingly little damage. The second one blasts a hole in the crate behind 451M0V. Hilda lets fly with her gun, injuring one grunt before scuttling behind a crate. Colored dots have been added to distinguish the enemies. Odont takes 4 damage, accounting for everything. Hilda damaged the blue grunt. It is Machop's turn.

The Machop, emboldened by the Audino's energy, crouched down and kicked at the nearest Poochyena's legs. Meanwhile, 451M0V was trying to move away, having been startled by the gunshot that went off near his head. Low Kick on the red Poochyena.
Rolled 18 with a 16 plus two from Audino's Helping Hand.
Rolled 7 +17 Attack and +10 from Helping Hand, 34 Physical Damage before Defense and Weaknesses.

The Poochyena practically explodes in a shower of Poochyena parts. The more easily distraught grunt yells "NOOOO!!!! NOT FLUFFYKINS!!!!" It is Ditto/Setsukko's turn.

Chell had until this moment in time been attempting to fluff up some of the food in the food dispenser, which he just had commandeered as his job. Upon hearing a racket outside, he first rolled his eyes and continued at his work. He had Frigidaire out helping him, and he was swapping contents from inside the refrigerator with the food dispenser. When the noises got even louder, Chell decided he'd had enough. He floated over and poked his head out of the ship's entrance. "What is going on out her...?" He was just in time to see Fluffykins explode into bits. "Goodness..." He gasped. He quickly came to his senses and realized they could always use some more assistance. "Come on Frigidaire, we should help!".
Chell is Initiative 8 and Frigidaire (Rotom Frost) is Initiative 14. I presumably will act in the next round then?

Ditto and Setsukko are up together, and by this time, Setsukko knows how she wants this fight to unfold. "Rook, replicate Mawile and advance the offense." The directions, guided by Setsukko's hands, were followed through by Toto: Transform into Mawile, move up to Poochyena, and attack with the same icy move that Mawile had used, and on the same Poochyena, no less. Ice Fang Accuracy: 14 Damage: 28 It would be nice if Rook downed the Poochyena, but in all honesty, it only changed whether or not she told Mawile to finish off the Poochyena first. The rest of her orders remained the same. "Mawile, pass around Ditto and reposition in front of the human. Maintain offense. Make sure to tear the intruders a new." It was a little ironic. As Setsukko told others to advance, she retreated herself, putting herself in a safe location. Reckless Advance on Mawile as standard action. Target: Your Pokémon Effect: While this Feature is Bound, increase the damage rolls of the target’s damaging melee attacks by +8, and these attacks Trip targets on Accuracy Rolls of 18+. When the target of Reckless Advance hits with a damaging melee attack, they become Vulnerable for one full round. Setsukko wasn't done yet, either. She would wait a bit for Mawile to move as she instructed and land its first strike. Then, if the grunt was still standing, she would usher. "Again! Don't give them a chance to breathe!". Strike Again! on Mawile as priority standard action. Target: Your Pokémon Effect: The target may immediately take an additional Standard Action to use an At-Will attack.

Odont starts at the command, but quickly nods and lunges, giving a second icy bite to the Poochyena her doppelganger attacked, a chuckle in her throat as she does, in fact, get to him.

Ditto and Odont quickly tear the Poochyena into bite-sized chunks- but the identical Poochyena confused them, and they got the wrong one. Between them, however, they took a Poochyena at full health down, which wasn't too bad, all things considered. The grunts begin to panic visibly. The more-easily rattled one begins wheezing loudly, while his calmer companion uses his comms: "Control, we found the fugitive, she is armed and has backup. Send reinforcements, ASAP!" Meanwhile, the wounded Poochyena jumps onto Rook the Ditto, while the unhurt one, barking wildly, goes chasing after Hilda. Rounding the corner, it spies 451M0V, and rams him, shoving the sapient Porygon out of the way. Chell and Frigidaire act next round. Odont hit the green one initially. The one you guys took out was the brown one. Whoops. Rook takes 21 damage, before reduction. 451M0V takes 20 damage, before reduction.

Odont shakes her head-jaws, throwing off some of the blood before hopping around her lookalike and going for a chomp on the nearby grunt. Unfortunately, the momentum throws her off and she ends up biting the air next to him. Meanwhile, Gordon finally reaches 002 and sprays a weak bit of medicine onto him, healing the damage he'd taken. He looks over his shoulder at Hilda. "I hope ye've got a heckuva budget fer medicine! If there's more o' these yahoos, we're gonna need it!" He shakes his head before muttering "Though if yer budget skills are like yer skill at secrecy, I'm not expectin' much."Odont: Shift: Move Standard: Ice Fang on Red Grunt, misses
Gordon: Shift: Move Standard: Use Potion on Machop (Doesn't forfeit next turn)

As Odont narrowly misses him, the panicked grunt yelps. The calm one, on the other hand, says "We underestimated these nutters. Fall back!" They both pull back, firing randomly into the warehouse- they're clearly not trying to hit anything, but they're encouraging you to keep your heads down. Hilda shakes her head as she watches the grunts withdraw. "I don't know what happened. How did they find me so quickly?" she asks, almost to herself.

"How or whatnot. Leave those questions up to your tech guy," Setsukko stats matter-of-factly as she recalls Toto and turns back the ship, "Oi. Doctor Porygon! Can you search for some sort of tracking device? On the ship, us, wherever it could be, and whatever you think of." If Asimove agrees, apply a +2 to the skill check from Focused Training.
Being just a hired hand, maybe Setsukko was overstepping her bounds, but she would deal with being chastised later. Right now, she wasn't fond of the idea of being a sitting duck. She didn't trust the vanguard to just back out without a fight. They were probably going to bring back reinforcements, and now that they've seen what their group could do, it was probably going to be more than enough reinforcements to handle them all. Getting off the planet was going to have to take priority over questions of how. "The pumps. How many more do we need to set up and how much time?"

Hilda quickly replies "Two more, on the other side. First, though, let's move some boxes to block the door; it's the only way in." If you want to let the grunts and the Poochyena go, we'll be out of initiative. If not, we're still in initiative. 451M0V There may not be a tracking device on the outside of the ship, or even on the inside. Hilda seems like the kind of woman who uses a fine-tooth comb to look for things like this. However, it is entirely possible to hide it inside the ship's programming, possibly somewhere innocent- such as that food dispenser Chell was working on...

"002! Let them go!"
451M0V was now investigating the food dispenser. Were they able to track them with this? Hmm. He needed to investigate.

Toto was released once more. This time, it was given instructions to assist in moving the boxes to block the door, and it transformed into the Machop once more in order to do so. Even Setsukko rolled up her sleeves and helped with the pushing to... well... absolutely no difference, probably.

As the grunts and their Poochyena flee out the door (the whiny one visibly wetting himself as he runs), Hilda and Setsukko shove boxes in front of the door. If more came, with heavy weapons, this wouldn't stop them- but hopefully, they'd be gone by then. Setsukko accidentally tips one of the boxes over, revealing it to be full of plush toys. *** Entering the digital world, 451M0V quickly realizes that there is a tracking program hidden inside the food dispenser- manifested in the digital world as a black mass, with spreading tendrils, veins made of circuitry, and large googly eyes incapable of focusing on anything around it.

Breathing a sigh of relief at the lack of imminent death, Gordon calls Odont over to him and releases Tropho. "Right, looks like we got ourselves a brief respite before they come back an' murder us... aye, laugh it up, Odont. Anyway, we need to move the final freezer pumps, so let's get to it. Oh, and jus' to be clear - you," he points at Odont, "don't bite clean through 'em an' you," he points to Tropho, "don't try an' eat 'em. Alright, let's go." He leads the three off to help with the pumps.

The last of the freezer pumps await Gordon as he waddles up to them. These are considerably larger and heavier, given that they have to ice the ship's exhaust and engines- this makes a little bit of sense, since the engine's heat signature needs to be hidden for as long as possible. Each pump is like the others- a large gray box with a tube for expelling the coolant, and a blue coolant cylinder with a snowflake logo screwed into the top. Each cylinder has a guage for measuring the coolant levels, and each one is currently resting on a red "E". On the back wall is a control panel, with wires leading up to the ceiling. Gordon realizes that the ceiling can actually open up, allowing the ship to fly out of the warehouse. Trying a new mechanic here: In order to move these, characters must have a combined total of 20 athletics ranks. Multiple characters can chip in to increase the rank total.
